THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Greg Reeser is touching and reflects his admiration and respect for you., As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Hunter attended Colby for one year before transferring to West Point. As freshmen, we lived on the same floor and became friends and eventually pledged the same fraternity. His family history with the military was extensive, and he was eager to go to the academy, which he succeeded in doing, becoming notable as a hockey player while there. He and I also played on the Colby freshman team.

I lost track of Hunter after he left, but he occupies an unique place in my memory bank. I was able to talk with a member of his patrol who remembers him well and described his death having watched it happen. It was at least quick.

Now I’m an old man and wish that he had had that opportunity.

Since hearing your story in 1987, I have never forgotten. We will remember you.

Dear Cap. James Shotwell, Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander and for graduating from WEST POINT. The 54th anniversary of the start of your tour was 4 days ago. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Valentine’s Day. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
